  Rails and urban development. A Comparative Approach between France and the United Kingdom

  In many countries, the challenges of sustainable urban development along with preoccupations about energy costs, are leading developers and urban planners to place rail transport at the centre of their concerns. During 2012 members of the French and British Planning Studies Group based at the University of Liverpool and University of Paris 1-Sorbonne have been collaborating on hosting two seminars dedicated to the theme of rail transport and urban development. The intention has been to bring together academics with practitioners and also incorporate visits to view rail investments ‘on the ground’. The first event took place in Paris in May 2012 and addressed light rail development in Europe with a particular focus on the situation in the UK and France. The second seminar will take place in Liverpool on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 November 2012 and consider heavy rail as a means of serving urban development in metropolitan areas.

  Géohistoire et données anciennes

  Appel à contributions pour Géocarrefour, vol. 84 (hiver 2009)

  L’approche de type géohistorique irrigue les courants les plus divers de la géographie, son originalité tenant au fait qu’elle cherche à replacer la dynamique et la structuration des milieux ou des territoires dans le temps long. Plus qu'une histoire spatialisée elle vise donc une compréhension des phénomènes spatiaux et du sens de leurs enchaînements au cours du temps. Elle peut prétendre de ce fait à un certain renouvellement du genre monographique qui devient l’exercice préalable à l’identification de trajectoires d’évolution ou de recompositions.Ce numéro de Géocarrefour, espéré pour la fin de l'année 2009, abordera plusieurs pistes dans ce sens.
